Construction is where generic accounting breaks. We handle what most bookkeepers can't: percentage-of-completion revenue recognition, WIP schedules, retainage, AIA/progress billing and pay-app review, change orders, and job costing — clean, banker- and surety-ready financials from someone who does construction accounting every day.
General contractors, subcontractors, and developer-builders managing active jobs who need job costing and WIP schedules that actually reconcile — and clean, banker- and surety-ready financials for bonding and lending conversations, not just categorized transactions.
See how a WIP schedule catches cash problems early in our guide to WIP overbilling, with a worked example.
QuickBooks Online, and Intuit Enterprise Suite for larger multi-project contractors who've outgrown single-entity job costing. We also plug into Procore, Buildertrend, Knowify, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro, plus your payroll, spend, and bill pay tools.
Percentage-of-completion (POC) recognizes revenue and costs as a project progresses, based on costs incurred relative to total estimated costs, instead of waiting until a job closes out. It's the standard method for most contractors with multi-period jobs, and it's what lenders and sureties expect to see — recognizing revenue too early or too late distorts your job profitability and your bonding capacity.
Retainage is tracked separately as a receivable (or payable, for retainage you're holding from subs) until it's released, not left buried in AR. We build a WIP schedule every period showing costs incurred, billings to date, and earned revenue by job — so over- and under-billings are visible immediately, not discovered at year-end.
Yes. We work in QuickBooks Online or Intuit Enterprise Suite and connect to the tools contractors already run on, including Procore, Buildertrend, Knowify, ServiceTitan, Jobber, and Housecall Pro.
We'll start with a fixed-fee catch-up cleanup that rebuilds your books and job costs, scoped in writing before work begins, then keep WIP and job reporting current every month.
